2. Description of Related Art
Currently, testing of fluid state contents, are typically consigned to professional testing authorities for performing testing by high magnification, expensive microscope equipment. In the situation where an individual does not have microscope equipment, the testing activity cannot be performed by the individual.
However, in some testing categories nowadays testing is required to be performed on a regular basis; therefore generally for an individual it creates an excessive burden that consumes large amounts of time and money. For example, currently some medical procedures in the long term testing category are directed at infertility patients and include semen testing. This testing category is mainly directed at performing observations on the number of sperms, their motility and morphology. The method thereof mainly involves resting semen of a male subject at room temperature for a period of time, and taking a drop and instilling to a slide and setting under a microscope to perform observations for a period of time. The observations not only may be directed at performing high magnification observation of individual sperm to understand the external appearance of individual sperm, but may also be directed at performing observations of overall sperms in a group range, and their motility, morphology and the quantity per unit area. However, the reason why an individual is unable to perform testing is due to the reason that current related industries have not yet developed a testing product and the technology that conveniently allows an individual to perform testing through a simple aiding device. This problem is an important technical issue worthy to be considered and solved by related industries.
Of course, the testing category aforementioned is only one specific problem desired to be solved by the invention. Observational needs such as for medical specimens or motility, morphology of water micro-organisms, water quality, skin epidermis tissues/cells and which other individual want to understand, also necessitates the need for developing a simple testing product with significantly lower cost of use than current microscope equipment.
Directed at the aforementioned problems in conventional testing technology of specimen, how to develop a more ideal and practical innovative structure is a goal and a direction in which related industries need a breakthrough.
In view of this, the inventor's many years of experience of engagement in the manufacturing, development and design directed at the aforementioned goal, after detailed design and careful assessment has finally achieved a practical invention.
The invention provides a testing equipment with magnifying function, which solves a problem of past testing equipment being expensive, consuming high labor and not easy to popularize.
The invention provides a testing equipment with magnifying function, including a carrier, having at least one specimen holding area; a cover, at least stacked on the specimen holding area of the carrier; and at least one magnifying part, disposed at the cover, the magnifying part is disposed to align with the specimen holding area of the carrier.
In an embodiment of the invention, a number of the magnifying part is a plurality, disposed in intervals at the cover and with a magnification different to each other.
In an embodiment of the invention, the carrier further includes a light beam auxiliary guiding structure, such that a light beam from an outside environment is guided throughout the specimen holding area of the carrier.
In an embodiment of the invention, the testing equipment with magnifying function includes a non slip film, attached on top the cover, used to attach the cover to a camera of the intelligent communications device, so the magnifying part corresponds to the camera of the intelligent communications device.
Based on the above, the invention provides a simple structure for a testing equipment with a magnifying function in which the cost is significantly lowered, and is suitable for performing simple specimen magnification testing and is not only practical but has improvements.
Reference will now be made in detail to the present preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

The focal lengths H1 and H2 may change by the change in thickness of the cover 20 or the size of the curvature of the magnifying part 30 or differences in the change of thickness. The focal length H2 as shown in
The magnifying part 30 may be the only part rendered a transparent state and the cover 20 is a matte state. In addition, the carrier 10 may have only the specimen holding area 11 rendered in a transparent state, and the remaining parts then may be a matte state. In this way, when the testing operations are performed on the testing equipment, the translucent bright area may be concentrated at the specimen holding area 11, the magnifying part 30 and such main observation parts, lowering the light beam interference phenomenon from other parts.
Next referring to
The testing equipment A8 with magnifying function of the present embodiment may selectively include a non-slip film 92 and a pH test paper 94. The non slip film 92 is attached on the supporting side (such as the top) of the cover 20, and is used to stably position the cover 20 to the camera 61 of the intelligent communications device 60, as shown in
In addition, the magnifying part 30 and the cover 20 in the present embodiment adopts a separable type design. Therefore, the user may select a magnifying part 31 different from the magnifying part 30 to replace the original magnifying part 30 according to testing requirements. The magnifying part 31 and the cover 20 are assembled to obtain different magnifications or other optical features.
